Brooklawn Diner & Restaurant – Brooklawn, NJ

This place is completely different from what the old Brooklawn Diner looked like, and I must admit, it looks a lot better. It’s typical Jersey Diner fare so no surprises here. I had vegetable soup, and main entrée of roasted turkey with gravy, apple sauce, and stewed baked zucchini. Everything was good, prices reasonable, and service was friendly.
